Record of Lodoss War Online

VS

ArcheAge

Record of Lodoss War Online is an MMORPG released in late 2016 by L&K Logic Korea. Though based on a well-known IP, the game has struggled to retain significant player numbers outside of its initial release, particularly in the West and even in Korea. The game shows signs of low population and minimal ongoing support, typical of older, niche MMOs from smaller publishers. Estimated daily active players are likely quite low—around 100, mostly diehard fans or those on private servers.

ArcheAge is a well-known sandbox MMORPG launched in 2013. While it initially drew strong interest due to its open world and sandbox systems, its player base has shrunk over the years, in part due to controversial monetization decisions and competition. Recent trends and community figures suggest the game retains a loyal but relatively small population, with most activity centered in a few regions. It is clearly an MMO based on its persistent world and large-scale multiplayer interaction.
